"What's a Stollen?" I asked."The best way to describe a Stollen is, it's a half bread half cake," says a fellow one2two-er.
And that's not very far from how Wikipedia describes it: 'A Stollen is a loaf shaped fruitcake, powdered with icing sugar on the outside. The cake is usually made with chopped candied fruit and/or dried fruit, nuts and spices. Stollen is a traditional German cake, usually eaten during the Christmas season, when called Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen...'
Through further reading, you'll discover that a Stollen is made to look like a swaddled up baby Jesus. And the tradition of baking a Stollen dates back to the 15th century in Dresden, Germany.
These Stollens, however, are made by the 'Just Heavenly' duo of , right here in their Bangsar house at No 47, Jalan Terasek, Bangsar Baru, KL (Tel: 603-2287 9866).
The icing is a lemon zest glaze, and has an optional marzipan (almond paste) center. Priced at RM32 each.
Now you don't have to fly to Europe for extra Christmas cheer.
